In every iteration, have a few bugs that do not get fixed. After five or six iterations you can build up a reasonable size bug backlog without even trying, and the best bit is that you can hide them in the previous iterations so nobody important sees them.

Obvious fixes:

If there is anything left over in the current iteration, move it into the next and increase the priority of that item.

Review all items that overflow into the next iteration to make sure that the team understands what is needed.

Publish the failure up the management chain if a defect survives to iterations.
